My mom dated Edward Campbell. Eric was a few years younger than me. Trust me when I say that was the worst 2-3 years of my life. Ed was extremely abusive. I witnessed him beat them and my mom. Child services really failed them. I lost contact after my mom broke things off with them but I prayed and wondered for years what ever happened to them. I’d hoped cps would have finally taken them for good and they’d end up growing up in a good home. So sad to see that’s not what happened. Ed was very controlling and I have no doubt he ruled their lives in to adulthood. I know I’m so late to this video. It took me a very long time to watch this or follow any of the news coverage when it all happened or after. I had nightmares for years about Ed and they returned when the murders happened so I stayed away from it all. I guess curiosity finally got the best of me.
Thanks for sharing. It’s a horrible case and I hope you stop getting those nightmares. Ed was a horrible person and just destroyed lives. That pos. I hope he rots in hell
I went to Alvin Highschool with Eric my senior year actually, he was homeschooled before that. He and I were actually friends we had Algebra together. He was different, smart, but nice. That doesn’t mean that he wasn’t/isn’t capable of committing a heinous crime. Just eerie to know it is someone I had some fond memories with.
I grew up with a father and older brother who reigned over my mother, myself, my sister and younger brother. They were maniacal and we lived in invisible chains. I did everything he wanted. I was utterly terrified and truly knew no different. Only now, I'm 42, does any family member even acknowledge what happened. I am so very sorry for the Faulkners and their sons. No one deserves that. Bless them. ❤️❤️
@@MYRRHfamily she may not. Did you notice she said the older brother also dominated them along with the father? Why do you feel sorry for that young man. He seemed to be going right along with his father in loading the instruments of torture into the trolley?
The kid did not exhibit PTSD symptoms while in walmart because his father was not raging or threatening him at THAT moment. The terror caused by PTSD does not show itself every minute of every day. It is triggered. I believe this kid was under the authority and control of a madman. No excuse for him ultimately staying and doing what his dad demanded but it is understandable. I also wonder, how did the mother get her brain injury....was it the father who gave it to her?
@jessebaldwin2661 And yet everyday you hear of kids who break free from their controlling parents to immerse themselves in the world of sex, drugs & crimes.
It's difficult to even give credence to forensic psychologists when each side has an expert to back up their own theory. I have conflicting thoughts for some being tried with violently abusive parents or partners, it isn't always easy to disobey commands from these coercive domineers. Another thought provoking case, thanks Kevin and team. ✌
Eric Campbell was a victim himself in this case. He almost certainly wouldn't have been involved in these crimes were it not for his sociopathic, domineering, criminal father. It is easy to say that he was old enough to make his own decisions, call the police, not participate in the crimes, etc.--but when you have been psychologically and emotionally abused by your father for most of your life, you follow along out of fear, no doubt. Assuming there was no direct evidence that he was actually involved in killing the couple--and I don't think there was--my inclination as a juror would have been to give the young man a much lighter sentence that would enable him to obtain parole at some point and have a second chance at life--without the father who has now ruined his life.
I think Eric was a "partner" in the crime, but for the prosecution to say he was an "equal" partner is just disingenuous and dishonest. His coward father kills himself and as compensation for justice lost they want to lynch this kid who himself is also a victim of his father. I hate when people try to pin the crimes of one person on another just cause they are hurt and want to hurt someone, even if they know it's not actually the one who was primarily responsible.
I have severe PTSD and it largely has to do with abuse from my father. I can tell you right now you can be dissociating, hyper vigilant, and filled with fear and appear normal on a security camera. You are so used to your entire brain being hijacked that you don’t even ask questions. I can’t speak to his innocence but I can say the prosecution’s psychiatrist was full of it.
@@tobiasclausen6273 the whole “judicial system” is a crock. They just pursue what they want to. I was sexually abused, told the police every single detail in an interview with detectives and… I was very nearly charged with r*pe. So, at a very young age I learned you’re not going to get help from those people. The judge told me I was “lucky to have” an abuser like mine, as I was lucky they didn’t press charges.
He's no innocent victim. He jumped in the red truck with the bodies when fleeing from cops instead of the closer suburban, and then he tried to stash all the loot in the forest after he crashed. He was free from his abusive dad before all that and would've just given up if he was innocent.
That's why I feel like the prosecutor comes across as such a self-righteous bitch pretending they are somehow "equal" parts in this when obviously their relationship was defined by inequality. Yes he has some complicity but clearly not equal to his father.
Horrid! I will say that he was quite intimidated by his father, couldn’t bring himself to confront him, and in his own, wouldn’t have even thought about doing such horrible things! He was, unfortunately, complicit in all parts, because he cooperated and assisted. What a drastically sad case. A cowardly father, who took suicide over facing the court; a son whose been used and abused all his life, pays the price , alone. God have Mercy on him.
Kevin, huge thanks for not going into ANY detail regarding the animal cruelty charges. Even general descriptions of it will haunt me (no doubt I'm setting myself up for nasty comments for saying this, but I just wanted to thank you sincerely).
Even though you have PTSD it doesn't mean that you're frozen with fear or hyper vigilant at every minute of every day! It comes and goes, it's not consistent at all times.
This channel is fast becoming my favourite. More serious than another channel I watch but not as earnest and sentimental as another channel I watch also not as judgemental as another channel I watch.

Great video and story Kevin, thank you again, ever so much. What a sad ending for the Faulkners after what seems to have been a well lived life. As far as the Campbells - terrible father and unfortunate consequences for the son; such a waste.
My condolences to the Faulkers' family and friends. I also feel for Eric because the poor boy didn't have a chance to do anything good with his life having been raised by a criminal. He should have paid but as an accomplice to commit murder not for first degree murder. The father, a coward until the end.
Parental recruitment with a child's complicity is an utterly terrifying thought... thanks so much for your content... love ur channel 😉 hope everyone has a wonderful week... & don't 4get to spread smiles & love whenever u can! love & equality are the only answers! 🙂🖤💕
I have real doubts about the amount of complicity on Eric's part. Just because he didn't act terrified in the store videos doesn't mean he wasn't. After years of abuse he could have learned that showing fear would only elicit more abuse. I don't think he's innocent but you have 2 principal actors and both say he did not kill them. I'm surprised that I live in NC and never heard of this case. I just don't get the sense that he's a danger to society as his father was. Over 1,000 pages of CPS paperwork on the family. The children should have never been left in this father's care, never. It's tragic all the way around. I'd like to think there's a chance for Eric to have a life after parole, if he ever gets parole. Never mind, google says no parole.
this part irked me specifically. Dr Wolfe's opinion seems to be so uneducated, 'casual demeanor', not in sync with dissociative episode' and 'not hyper-vigilant'? And she's able to conclude all that from a grainy video with 4 pixels where, in order to give such diagnosis, you need to examine the patient closely in situ and physically as well? Doesn't she know that victims of DA are masters of disguise, trained for years to minimize the abuse? I call BS
Completely agree. I think the prosecution should have more thoughtfully considered the young man's situation. In my view he should have been charged with lesser crimes and given a lesser sentence and given a chance to get out of prison--free of his abusive father--and have a second chance at life. None of this was the young man's choice. I disagree with the prosecutors in this case.
ah poor Eric was so stressed ......imagine how stressed Jerome and Dora must have been as they tortured and murdered them. Just horrific what he and his father did to those 2 senior citizens.
My heart and prayers go out to Jerome & Dora Faulkner and their loved ones. What a tragic, senseless, terrible end to a sweet, accomplished, and honored couple. They in no way deserved what happened to them. One difficult thing about court trials are the “expert witnesses”. i have personally been involved in litigation in my life, and i find it ridiculous that each side has these “hired guns” that basically say what ever that side needs them to express. It really bothers me the way the prosecution’s psych expert claims to be able to tell that Eric does not have serious traumatic issues by watching the Home Depot footage. Wow, she just sounds ridiculous, seeing this grainy footage, and citing his body language from afar? This kid was severely abused and raised to be his father’s minion. My gut feeling is that Eric Campbell _was definitely_ groomed, taught, _molded_ into being an obeyer of his father. -That he had been committing crime with his father since a very young age…. what a sad travesty. How is a person to know right from wrong, when they are raised by a monster like Edward Campbell?
By the Way…. The North Carolina defense attorney *William Durham* is awesome, and i hope in time, that he finds a way to get this case retried. Esquire Durham is one to wAtCh. He is a unique breed of attorney, seeming truly honest and genuinely caring, evident in his 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝙳 and way.
He doesn't know right from wrong because his father taught him to be a criminal? There are many people raised by criminals who turn out to be productive members of society. My father was in and out of prison most of his life, an abusive alcoholic who mistreated everyone around him. It was no picnic and I was traumatised by it but I definitely knew right from wrong at an early age and I decided early on I would be nothing like him when I grew up, went on to not touch alcohol, build a family, committed no crimes and work a job for 18 years so far, it might have been a harder road to go than someone who is raised by a loving family but people make choices in life. Stop making excuses for him.
Regarding the expert witness, the defence can cross examine them so whatever objections you have, the defence can present them in court & let the jury decide if they're convinced
@_Y.Not_ You are absolutely right! I was earnestly looking for someone who would speak up like you did....I just couldn't suffer all these fools shedding their crocodile tears over 'poor little Eric'...especially considering that we live in a day and age where kids are constantly breaking free from their 'super' controlling parents to enter into a life of promiscuity, drugs & crimes. Eric is defunitrly a partner in crime with his abomination of a dad by choice, and there are no two ways about it.
The kid was super messed up. Guilty or not guilty he doesn't need to be just freely walking about. He needs help. Not sure what kind of "help" he'll get in prison. He just looks spaced out to me.
What a thorough coverage!!! I feel the punishment for Eric doesn’t make sense. There is no doubt that what he did was wrong, but we have to take into account the circumstances. Growing with the abusive and violent father, sometimes the victim doesn’t even know how to say no. Especially in this case since he was groomed this way since he was born. There is absolutely no way he can escape his father easily. He should be punished but life in prison is way harsh and there should be some other way. RIP Faulkners 😞
Kevin, You should visit Canada sometime. We have a lot of interesting, thought provoking, true crime stories that could only be done justice by a seasoned, clear thinking journalist like yourself. Keep up the great work!!
When a person is under such control like his psychopath father, unless you are such person you will obey what that psychopath said. I felt very sorry for Eric. I am with the lawyer that he is innocent. Sad story when the father is on drug and dragging his son down with him, to me the father is a coward leaving his son to face this tragedy.
Yes the father is the ultimate coward. It makes me sick to see what happened to the Faulkners. I believe the son is guilty and he's where he needs to be.
Yes hes so innocent and afraid of his dad that he pulled over when his dad got pulled over instead of continuing driving. So innocent he got out of his car and attempted to kill 2 police officers to protect his dad instead of simply driving away. So innocent he ran to the further vehicle with the two rotting victims and took off leaving dear old dad behind but still attempting to conceal the murder. So innocent the first thing he wanted to do was hide the ill gotten goods like a packrat. Yes dad is already caught, but im keeping the treasure. Yes he is innocent.
Great coverage of a case I have never heard about Kevin, I am not buying into a guilty or not guilty verdict but how can a jurer number 3, who has personally said they cannot reach a verdict twice to a judge suddenly be included in a unanimous verdict, it's not about what I think I can prove, evidence is all we have
OMG, I'm scrolling & scrolling and can't find any good true crime vid to select, then I happen upon Just Thought Lounge 😅. This video cane just in time & I can't believe I haven't subscribed 😳. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sincere Condolences, I lost a very dear teacher of mine, and his wife, who were murdered due to a robbery "gone wrong".. so easy to say for the perpetrators.... As if they just mad a little fault of some sort... but's so hard to came to terms with, even years later. And hard to comprehend that these evil people walk almost like "shape-shifters" among the civilzed. In South Africa we suffer from more than 78 murders a day. Its even worse than in the worst war zones. Thank you for great content.😀
Crazy story. Very well done video easy to listen to. Very sad what happened to that nice older couple. But I certainly wouldn’t classify them as “elderly”. The wife was still working as a nurse at 62 helping save lives as a vital and necessary frontline worker.
I've known men like Ed Campbell, they're scary af and their sons grew up to be broken people. That being said, the evidence points to Eric being right there during the violent crime. I'm glad he got life in prison, it will take him years to extricate his father's presence from his psyche. Good one Kevin 👍
I dunno. How could this guy contradict his meth addled dad? Seems like good survival instincts. I don’t feel they were fair with him. If they had had a chance to convict his father, they would have gone for lesser charges on the son. I don’t feel good about this case.
Probably, the mother had soffered braindamage not by coincidence either. I think Eric was made evil by his dad but it does not make his terrible crimes less terrible.
Such a big fan of this channel. Love the format how you begin the story so those, i.e.; me, does not have to research prior to viewing. I’m gonna do what I can to spread the word and get you some more subscribers. Keep up the great work JTL. ❤
Kevin…I like your channel because you tell the crime stories with compassion.. Thank you for sharing and I think your on your way to big success with your channel. Take care
I'm watching "taking the stand" on Hulu and the female prosecutor is like Eric could have done this and he could have done that and PTSD doesn't mean you can't do this or that. Well, as a war vet who suffers from PTSD you'll be surprised what you can and can't do because of PTSD especially when the TRIGGER is within close physical proximity!!!
Oh my days - what a welcomed breath of fresh air. Yes ur videos are fantastic thank you so much BUTT! the best thing is everyone supporting and being kind to eachother, fair play everyone, so much negativity in real life and especially comments on internet so Thank You all sooo good to see - hope each & evry1 of u fantastic peeps hab a great day 😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️❤️😘❤️
Thank you so much for the content you upload. I really appreciate the way you present these cases in a serious and respectful manner, but without being dry and unemotional. Really good work. Definitely one of the best vodcasters out there.
The idea that they were equally involved because they bought two set of gloves, etc., seems a red herring to me. If the father wanted his son to think they were just cooking up some meth together, and not be suspicious of any other motive, then of course they would have bought two sets of kit.
They targeted the old couple because they thought they looked vulnerable. They bought the supplies after they planned to rob the couple. How do you think Eric didn't know he was planning on committing a crime? And a crime that also involved torture weapons that they had brought with them.
The older couple’s bodies were moved from the house to the red truck. I’m having a hard time believing the father dragged them up into the bed of that truck on his own. They looked like they’d have been heavy to move. I’d like to know the weight of each victim. Also - maybe I missed it but what was cause of death? I’ve been reading that one way to tell if there were two different perpetrators/ murderers is by the injuries that caused death. So if the elderly male victim was wounded by the baton thing, and the woman was wounded by a different weapon... that can tell us something. Or if both victims had wounds from two different weapons. If both victims had life-ending injuries from a single weapon that tells us something too... Just thinking out loud over here. 🧠 🤔 Obviously the prosecution nailed him, but I’m curious about those pieces of the equation. For this abused son to have had a better outcome (for himself), he would have had to prove that his father threatened to kill him if he didn’t comply, no? As for society... I think we’re better off he’s locked up. Under coercion or not, two innocent people were brutally murdered.
To me, the legal system failed everyone and threw Eric in prison to play for the crowd. To look tough on crime, to appease the cop mob after two officers were shot. Eric needed incarceration and rehabilitation. They couldn't nail his father, so he became the scapegoat. That way nothing else matters, just pin it on the individual. Excuses CPS, police and so on.
Thankyou Kevin for your channel you have a calming voice and you put so much careful thought into your videos. As an animal rescue volunteer I am also grateful that animal abuse is not in detail. I noticed another comment stated this too... Thankyou from a Greek island.. We love your cats too
It's scary to tell someone dangerous "no"... I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, I just wish there was a more intricate plan for the son...it feels really lazy that it's just a blanket punishment of life and that we don't have anything in place for victims who choose crime over death or other abuse.
*SORRY FOR THE LENGTH THO* I just wanted to leave a comment..something I rarely do anymore, to say how geeked I am I stumbled upon this channel. I'm truly confused as to why in tf UA-cam never recommend your channel to me I only discovered you bc my friend sent me a video of yours knowing I'd be into that case (I basically live off of true crime😊) so anyways, annoyed YT never recommend JTL but too happy my friend sent me your video. Love your channel particularly your approach to the subject matter it's incredibly respectful, thorough & amazingly presented so I gotta say thank you for such detailed videos & more importantly for maintaining the respect & dignity these victims & their families truly deserve.. with the explosion of popularity in true crime it seems like those things more & more often now get completely lost along the way & were left with countless creators who present these cases almost as if they're doing a TV show review.. tysm for not allowing your channel to be another one of those! Your work is amazing & I really hope I continue to get notifications from JTL!!
I've been bingeing your videos all weekend lol I've been a sub for a while, but i forgot how good your coverage of little-known cases is! Thanks for all your in-depth coverage and, what I'm sure time-consuming, research.
I remember the first time my brother-in-law came from Texas forty-five years ago. I hitched a ride with him from Virginia and we drove down Gauley mountain. He was trying to straighten out the curves and I thought he was going to wreck at anytime. I never did that again.
The way he tried to trick them in the court room looking down and wearing glasses, he 100% knew what he was doing and his father wanted to save his evil son 🙄🥴
I concur with @imdoneplus. I also have PTSD from my stepfather, and I can’t tell you right now: my aunt called the police on him, and I had the chance to send him to jail right then, and I lied to the cops’ faces without a second thought. Because I knew what would happen if I didn’t. I’ve been out of the situation now for longer than I was in it, and I still have leftover behavior and thought processes I’ll never be able to rid myself of. I can see myself in this man’s shoes; he should have never been convicted.
I appreciate being able to scroll through the comments and not see idiots claiming that the kid got to make his own choices and wasn't under control of his dad. When that's all you know, how are you supposed to know to act different?
Daaaayuuuum. Eric’s face! I’m gonna have to force myself to believe that he got those injuries when he crashed. I’m sure he had no time to put his seat belt on when he dipped. The way the truck crashed on a steep incline he easily could’ve smashed his face into the airbag or steering wheel.
Sometimes I really think DR.s need their heads read to, they really need to stop making excuses for these killers. The father's a coward and his son needs to go to jail. R.I.P to the victims.
I'm surprised that nobody saw that second guy walking up. There were TWO cops. Why wasn't one watching out for what was going on with the vehicle? Especially a vehicle was stolen plates. You would have thought they would have been on high alert.
My thoughts exactly. I've seen videos where the cops had already had their guns drawn and asked them to "stay back" but this cop just let him approached him like a speeding ticket stop SMH
That Dr. was wrong! I work in Forensic Psychiatry and unless you're "in" that PTST relationship, truly understanding and interpreting person's behavior is not possible.
So why are they agonizing over who did what? Any person involved in a felony where someone dies is liable for murder in that death, whether they actually killed or not. He was there, even if he just drove. So he's liable for murder.
The one and only time I served jury duty was in Granville County. That was in 1999. My Dad still lives there. These cases scare me so bad. This was completely random!
Just because the son did not personally take part in the Faulkner’s deaths (so he claims) does not mean he cannot be charged with and found guilty of Felony First-Degree Murder. It’s called “vicarious liability”. This felony murder rule extends liability to accomplices, so an accomplice involved in a felony is liable for murder if a death occurs during the felony, even if the accomplice neither caused, intended, nor foresaw the death. The son can plead ignorance from post to pillar. For the sake of entertaining his claim of being unaware, if nothing else, he was at least aware of the risks when he chose to involve himself in a home invasion.
His own father took the cowards way out, and left his abused battered son to take on his own disgrace and his vile actions. Eric Campbell didn't deserve life in prison. A 20 something year old with no criminal history didn't deserve to pay for his dads horrible actions. He deserves a new trial.
Holly Smoot did testify. I watched every day of the trial. She survived being hung (strung up from the rafters in the garage). With her daughter in the house, Holly had to free herself, sneak in the house, get her daughter, the car keys, and fled to a church. She had to flag down help since her husband confiscated all the phone. He was psychotic from meth. Kevin did a great job detailing this crime. He could go more in-depth because the prosecution left no stone unturned. Eric will be dangerous in prison.
This decision was sickening. Clearly, NONE of these jurors know how an insane violent drug addict controls everyone around them. This is tragic for this young man. They were wrong in their ignorant decision.
I have PTSD, as a result of my time in the military. EVERYTHING that you may imagine happening to a woman, serving in a secret mission, happened & then some. I don't know if this young man is truly guilty or not. What I do know is PTSD IS REAL!!!🤯🤕

As with all court proceedings involving "expert" witnesses.
They slant their diagnosis in favour of who is paying their fee .
These people are paid, right? They'll say what they're told to or expected to, depending on defence or prosecution side
Surely it’s easier to disobey than murder. I don’t believe anyone would fall for this act!
Eric Campbell was a victim himself in this case. He almost certainly wouldn't have been involved in these crimes were it not for his sociopathic, domineering, criminal father. It is easy to say that he was old enough to make his own decisions, call the police, not participate in the crimes, etc.--but when you have been psychologically and emotionally abused by your father for most of your life, you follow along out of fear, no doubt. Assuming there was no direct evidence that he was actually involved in killing the couple--and I don't think there was--my inclination as a juror would have been to give the young man a much lighter sentence that would enable him to obtain parole at some point and have a second chance at life--without the father who has now ruined his life.
I think Eric was a "partner" in the crime, but for the prosecution to say he was an "equal" partner is just disingenuous and dishonest. His coward father kills himself and as compensation for justice lost they want to lynch this kid who himself is also a victim of his father. I hate when people try to pin the crimes of one person on another just cause they are hurt and want to hurt someone, even if they know it's not actually the one who was primarily responsible.
I have severe PTSD and it largely has to do with abuse from my father. I can tell you right now you can be dissociating, hyper vigilant, and filled with fear and appear normal on a security camera.

You don’t know how much this comment means to me with all of the audio issues we’ve had in the past. Glad that we’re on the right track now 👍🏻
@@JustThoughtLounge Brilliant stuff, really appreciate your hard work :)
He might be a father, but he's sure not a dad.
You have perfected your audio-visuals to the core! Loving it. Sunday dinners are incomplete without your video. Much respect as always.
I feel so sad that the son was brought into this nonsense. What a wicked man! Riep the victims.
The son knew exactly what he was doing and needs to be in jail.
@@cindyrussell1581 u think he’d have murdered anyone had it not been for his dad?
@@cindyrussell1581 I strongly disagree with that. In my opinion, his life was controlled by his father. Very tough for all involved in this.
He's no innocent victim. He jumped in the red truck with the bodies when fleeing from cops instead of the closer suburban, and then he tried to stash all the loot in the forest after he crashed. He was free from his abusive dad before all that and would've just given up if he was innocent.
You're old enough to not go along murdering people with your dad at aged 20 believe it or not.
"Dad what shall I become when I am grown up?"
"Easy son. You are going to become my accomplice when I go round killing and stealing"
What a sick f.
I agree that the father's statements should have been included as evidence. This is also grounds for an appeal.
That's why I feel like the prosecutor comes across as such a self-righteous bitch pretending they are somehow "equal" parts in this when obviously their relationship was defined by inequality. Yes he has some complicity but clearly not equal to his father.
Horrid! I will say that he was quite intimidated by his father, couldn’t bring himself to confront him, and in his own, wouldn’t have even thought about doing such horrible things! He was, unfortunately, complicit in all parts, because he cooperated and assisted. What a drastically sad case. A cowardly father, who took suicide over facing the court; a son whose been used and abused all his life, pays the price , alone. God have Mercy on him.
I wept for this dear couple. I am so sorry for the lives lost.
Kevin, huge thanks for not going into ANY detail regarding the animal cruelty charges. Even general descriptions of it will haunt me (no doubt I'm setting myself up for nasty comments for saying this, but I just wanted to thank you sincerely).
I know what you mean. We just didn’t think there was any need for those types of details. Didn’t add anything to an already sad story.
@@JustThoughtLounge Big hugs, thank you for "getting it".
People who put animal lives above human ones are weird af and don’t belong in society
Yeah agreed ,can handle humans killed on movie's and documentaries but animals getting harmed especially dogs just can't handle 👍
To be honest, I feel the same way.🙂
Even though you have PTSD it doesn't mean that you're frozen with fear or hyper vigilant at every minute of every day!
It comes and goes, it's not consistent at all times.
The State will always find someone to pay to provide false testimony.
He was under his father's spell for sure.
Actually it is everyday.
That was an old understanding of PTSD. The current understanding is that it affects you all the time but especially when triggered.

Cowardly dad. Left his son to deal with everything.
Did he really killed himself though?
Absolutely. A despicable human being.
Love the way you make your videos , you put WORK into the true pictures real videos ! That’s what make your channel a fantastic channel ! Thank you !
Great video and story Kevin, thank you again, ever so much. What a sad ending for the Faulkners after what seems to have been a well lived life. As far as the Campbells - terrible father and unfortunate consequences for the son; such a waste.
Thank you for all your time and effort that you put into these interesting cases
My condolences to the Faulkers' family and friends. I also feel for Eric because the poor boy didn't have a chance to do anything good with his life having been raised by a criminal. He should have paid but as an accomplice to commit murder not for first degree murder. The father, a coward until the end.
Parental recruitment with a child's complicity is an utterly terrifying thought... thanks so much for your content... love ur channel 😉 hope everyone has a wonderful week... & don't 4get to spread smiles & love whenever u can! love & equality are the only answers! 🙂🖤💕
Thank you Just Thought Lounge, your work is appreciated.
Thank you for another amazing upload, Kev...
You are really rocking this channel! Prayers to the families...🙏💕🙏
I have real doubts about the amount of complicity on Eric's part. Just because he didn't act terrified in the store videos doesn't mean he wasn't. After years of abuse he could have learned that showing fear would only elicit more abuse. I don't think he's innocent but you have 2 principal actors and both say he did not kill them. I'm surprised that I live in NC and never heard of this case. I just don't get the sense that he's a danger to society as his father was. Over 1,000 pages of CPS paperwork on the family. The children should have never been left in this father's care, never. It's tragic all the way around. I'd like to think there's a chance for Eric to have a life after parole, if he ever gets parole. Never mind, google says no parole.
this part irked me specifically. Dr Wolfe's opinion seems to be so uneducated, 'casual demeanor', not in sync with dissociative episode' and 'not hyper-vigilant'? And she's able to conclude all that from a grainy video with 4 pixels where, in order to give such diagnosis, you need to examine the patient closely in situ and physically as well? Doesn't she know that victims of DA are masters of disguise, trained for years to minimize the abuse? I call BS
Completely agree. I think the prosecution should have more thoughtfully considered the young man's situation. In my view he should have been charged with lesser crimes and given a lesser sentence and given a chance to get out of prison--free of his abusive father--and have a second chance at life. None of this was the young man's choice. I disagree with the prosecutors in this case.
Did you just make your assessment from a few seconds of video of her testifying?
@@endless3cho I watched all the way through
He drove off in the truck after the
police stop alone. !! Knowing the
dead bodies were in the back !!?
Kevin, good video. Thanks for posting these. We enjoy seeing the bad guys get caught and justice served.
Another excellent presentation, Kevin, thank you.
So glad I found this channel! Never heard of this case. You have awesome content!
ah poor Eric was so stressed ......imagine how stressed Jerome and Dora must have been as they tortured and murdered them. Just horrific what he and his father did to those 2 senior citizens.
My heart and prayers go out to Jerome & Dora Faulkner and their loved ones. What a tragic, senseless, terrible end to a sweet, accomplished, and honored couple. They in no way deserved what happened to them.
One difficult thing about court trials are the “expert witnesses”. i have personally been involved in litigation in my life, and i find it ridiculous that each side has these “hired guns” that basically say what ever that side needs them to express. It really bothers me the way the prosecution’s psych expert claims to be able to tell that Eric does not have serious traumatic issues by watching the Home Depot footage. Wow, she just sounds ridiculous, seeing this grainy footage, and citing his body language from afar? This kid was severely abused and raised to be his father’s minion.
My gut feeling is that Eric Campbell _was definitely_ groomed, taught, _molded_ into being an obeyer of his father. -That he had been committing crime with his father since a very young age…. what a sad travesty. How is a person to know right from wrong, when they are raised by a monster like Edward Campbell?
By the Way….
The North Carolina defense attorney *William Durham* is awesome, and i hope in time, that he finds a way to get this case retried. Esquire Durham is one to wAtCh. He is a unique breed of attorney, seeming truly honest and genuinely caring, evident in his 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝙳 and way.
Exactly my thought..she looked at the video and decided that Eric doesn't show any symptoms.
He doesn't know right from wrong because his father taught him to be a criminal? There are many people raised by criminals who turn out to be productive members of society. My father was in and out of prison most of his life, an abusive alcoholic who mistreated everyone around him. It was no picnic and I was traumatised by it but I definitely knew right from wrong at an early age and I decided early on I would be nothing like him when I grew up, went on to not touch alcohol, build a family, committed no crimes and work a job for 18 years so far, it might have been a harder road to go than someone who is raised by a loving family but people make choices in life. Stop making excuses for him.
Regarding the expert witness, the defence can cross examine them so whatever objections you have, the defence can present them in court & let the jury decide if they're convinced
@_Y.Not_ You are absolutely right! I was earnestly looking for someone who would speak up like you did....I just couldn't suffer all these fools shedding their crocodile tears over 'poor little Eric'...especially considering that we live in a day and age where kids are constantly breaking free from their 'super' controlling parents to enter into a life of promiscuity, drugs & crimes. Eric is defunitrly a partner in crime with his abomination of a dad by choice, and there are no two ways about it.
Really enjoying the quality of your content. Thank you so much!❤
This is unbelievably good. Perfect, really. I thank you, kind sir.
I love your commentary, its really interesting and informative. Well done 👍
The kid was super messed up. Guilty or not guilty he doesn't need to be just freely walking about. He needs help. Not sure what kind of "help" he'll get in prison. He just looks spaced out to me.
Spaced out and scared
what a coward the father was leaving his son to face trial while he took the easy route out.
Great job Kevin ❤ you're one of the good ones. Looking forward to your work brother
What a thorough coverage!!! I feel the punishment for Eric doesn’t make sense. There is no doubt that what he did was wrong, but we have to take into account the circumstances. Growing with the abusive and violent father, sometimes the victim doesn’t even know how to say no. Especially in this case since he was groomed this way since he was born. There is absolutely no way he can escape his father easily. He should be punished but life in prison is way harsh and there should be some other way. RIP Faulkners 😞
Thanks, Kev. Keep 'em coming!
Kevin, you are brilliant. Thank you.
Hello, this is now my favorite Crime Documentary channel. Keep up the good work Kevin!! 👏 😊 🙌
Kevin,
You should visit Canada sometime. We have a lot of interesting, thought provoking, true crime stories that could only be done justice by a seasoned, clear thinking journalist like yourself. Keep up the great work!!
When a person is under such control like his psychopath father, unless you are such person you will obey what that psychopath said. I felt very sorry for Eric. I am with the lawyer that he is innocent. Sad story when the father is on drug and dragging his son down with him, to me the father is a coward leaving his son to face this tragedy.
Yes the father is the ultimate coward. It makes me sick to see what happened to the Faulkners. I believe the son is guilty and he's where he needs to be.
Yes hes so innocent and afraid of his dad that he pulled over when his dad got pulled over instead of continuing driving. So innocent he got out of his car and attempted to kill 2 police officers to protect his dad instead of simply driving away.
So innocent he ran to the further vehicle with the two rotting victims and took off leaving dear old dad behind but still attempting to conceal the murder.
So innocent the first thing he wanted to do was hide the ill gotten goods like a packrat. Yes dad is already caught, but im keeping the treasure. Yes he is innocent.
Great video Kevin. Well done and good luck 👍 👏
Great coverage of a case I have never heard about Kevin, I am not buying into a guilty or not guilty verdict but how can a jurer number 3, who has personally said they cannot reach a verdict twice to a judge suddenly be included in a unanimous verdict, it's not about what I think I can prove, evidence is all we have
I enjoy your work! Thank you, Kevin :-)

Excellent in you verb skills. Clear easy to understand and very pleasant to listen. Very few UA-camrs has. Great delivering stories! Thank you.
Sincere Condolences, I lost a very dear teacher of mine, and his wife, who were murdered due to a robbery "gone wrong".. so easy to say for the perpetrators.... As if they just mad a little fault of some sort... but's so hard to came to terms with, even years later. And hard to comprehend that these evil people walk almost like "shape-shifters" among the civilzed. In South Africa we suffer from more than 78 murders a day. Its even worse than in the worst war zones. Thank you for great content.😀
I don’t believe it 🙌🏼 never heard this one!! Wicked cool. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Crazy story.
Very well done video easy to listen to.
Very sad what happened to that nice older couple. But I certainly wouldn’t classify them as “elderly”.
The wife was still working as a nurse at 62 helping save lives as a vital and necessary frontline worker.
I've known men like Ed Campbell, they're scary af and their sons grew up to be broken people. That being said, the evidence points to Eric being right there during the violent crime. I'm glad he got life in prison, it will take him years to extricate his father's presence from his psyche. Good one Kevin 👍
I dunno. How could this guy contradict his meth addled dad? Seems like good survival instincts. I don’t feel they were fair with him. If they had had a chance to convict his father, they would have gone for lesser charges on the son.
I don’t feel good about this case.
Probably, the mother had soffered braindamage not by coincidence either. I think Eric was made evil by his dad but it does not make his terrible crimes less terrible.
Such a big fan of this channel. Love the format how you begin the story so those, i.e.; me, does not have to research prior to viewing. I’m gonna do what I can to spread the word and get you some more subscribers. Keep up the great work JTL. ❤

My condolences 💐 to the Faulkner family
Great work, tragic story
I'm watching "taking the stand" on Hulu and the female prosecutor is like Eric could have done this and he could have done that and PTSD doesn't mean you can't do this or that. Well, as a war vet who suffers from PTSD you'll be surprised what you can and can't do because of PTSD especially when the TRIGGER is within close physical proximity!!!
Oh my days - what a welcomed breath of fresh air. Yes ur videos are fantastic thank you so much BUTT! the best thing is everyone supporting and being kind to eachother, fair play everyone, so much negativity in real life and especially comments on internet so Thank You all sooo good to see - hope each & evry1 of u fantastic peeps hab a great day 😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️❤️😘❤️
Could you do an update on the case of the Menendez brothers? Especially how many people support them now. I would love to hear your analysis.
Love your stories!
Thank you so much for the content you upload. I really appreciate the way you present these cases in a serious and respectful manner, but without being dry and unemotional. Really good work. Definitely one of the best vodcasters out there.
The idea that they were equally involved because they bought two set of gloves, etc., seems a red herring to me. If the father wanted his son to think they were just cooking up some meth together, and not be suspicious of any other motive, then of course they would have bought two sets of kit.
They targeted the old couple because they thought they looked vulnerable. They bought the supplies after they planned to rob the couple. How do you think Eric didn't know he was planning on committing a crime? And a crime that also involved torture weapons that they had brought with them.
How can you have a mistrial after only 2.5 hours? I’ve never heard of giving up that early. So glad they were able to find him guilty. RIP.
The older couple’s bodies were moved from the house to the red truck.
I’m having a hard time believing the father dragged them up into the bed of that truck on his own.
They looked like they’d have been heavy to move. I’d like to know the weight of each victim. Also - maybe I missed it but what was cause of death?
I’ve been reading that one way to tell if there were two different perpetrators/ murderers is by the injuries that caused death.
So if the elderly male victim was wounded by the baton thing, and the woman was wounded by a different weapon... that can tell us something.
Or if both victims had wounds from two different weapons.
If both victims had life-ending injuries from a single weapon that tells us something too...
Just thinking out loud over here. 🧠 🤔
Obviously the prosecution nailed him, but I’m curious about those pieces of the equation.
For this abused son to have had a better outcome (for himself), he would have had to prove that his father threatened to kill him if he didn’t comply, no?
As for society... I think we’re better off he’s locked up. Under coercion or not, two innocent people were brutally murdered.
To me, the legal system failed everyone and threw Eric in prison to play for the crowd. To look tough on crime, to appease the cop mob after two officers were shot.
Eric needed incarceration and rehabilitation. They couldn't nail his father, so he became the scapegoat. That way nothing else matters, just pin it on the individual. Excuses CPS, police and so on.
Thankyou Kevin for your channel you have a calming voice and you put so much careful thought into your videos. As an animal rescue volunteer I am also grateful that animal abuse is not in detail. I noticed another comment stated this too... Thankyou from a Greek island.. We love your cats too
It's scary to tell someone dangerous "no"... I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, I just wish there was a more intricate plan for the son...it feels really lazy that it's just a blanket punishment of life and that we don't have anything in place for victims who choose crime over death or other abuse.
I just found your channel today and subbed immediately!
Welcome to the channel 👍🏻
*SORRY FOR THE LENGTH THO* I just wanted to leave a comment..something I rarely do anymore, to say how geeked I am I stumbled upon this channel. I'm truly confused as to why in tf UA-cam never recommend your channel to me I only discovered you bc my friend sent me a video of yours knowing I'd be into that case (I basically live off of true crime😊) so anyways, annoyed YT never recommend JTL but too happy my friend sent me your video. Love your channel particularly your approach to the subject matter it's incredibly respectful, thorough & amazingly presented so I gotta say thank you for such detailed videos & more importantly for maintaining the respect & dignity these victims & their families truly deserve.. with the explosion of popularity in true crime it seems like those things more & more often now get completely lost along the way & were left with countless creators who present these cases almost as if they're doing a TV show review.. tysm for not allowing your channel to be another one of those! Your work is amazing & I really hope I continue to get notifications from JTL!!
Glad your friend sent you our way as well. Really appreciate the comment too. Great way to wrap up the year 😀

Is West Virginia running some kind of genetics program where they clone the same bald guy every time they need a new cop?

I remember the first time my brother-in-law came from Texas forty-five years ago. I hitched a ride with him from Virginia and we drove down Gauley mountain.
He was trying to straighten out the curves and I thought he was going to wreck at anytime.
I never did that again.

Welcome to the channel 😀
Very good video, thank you!!...
The way he tried to trick them in the court room looking down and wearing glasses, he 100% knew what he was doing and his father wanted to save his evil son 🙄🥴
The son totally overdoing being a victim part. He's evil.
I concur with @imdoneplus. I also have PTSD from my stepfather, and I can’t tell you right now: my aunt called the police on him, and I had the chance to send him to jail right then, and I lied to the cops’ faces without a second thought. Because I knew what would happen if I didn’t. I’ve been out of the situation now for longer than I was in it, and I still have leftover behavior and thought processes I’ll never be able to rid myself of. I can see myself in this man’s shoes; he should have never been convicted.
I appreciate being able to scroll through the comments and not see idiots claiming that the kid got to make his own choices and wasn't under control of his dad. When that's all you know, how are you supposed to know to act different?
Daaaayuuuum. Eric’s face! I’m gonna have to force myself to believe that he got those injuries when he crashed. I’m sure he had no time to put his seat belt on when he dipped. The way the truck crashed on a steep incline he easily could’ve smashed his face into the airbag or steering wheel.
I hope ur right, but it sure looks like he got stomped out.
I was looking for this comment! Almost unrecognisable hey.
They beat the shite out of him. C’mon we all know, they shot a cop!
Someone with ptsd can still function and go to the store. That Psych was not honest.
Sometimes I really think DR.s need their heads read to, they really need to stop making excuses for these killers. The father's a coward and his son needs to go to jail. R.I.P to the victims.
I truly struggle with this verdict.
I'm surprised that nobody saw that second guy walking up. There were TWO cops. Why wasn't one watching out for what was going on with the vehicle? Especially a vehicle was stolen plates. You would have thought they would have been on high alert.
My thoughts exactly. I've seen videos where the cops had already had their guns drawn and asked them to "stay back" but this cop just let him approached him like a speeding ticket stop SMH
A white Suburban Tahoe?? Man I was so confused for a moment lol
Love your videos! “Just the facts.”
That Dr. was wrong! I work in Forensic Psychiatry and unless you're "in" that PTST relationship, truly understanding and interpreting person's behavior is not possible.
So why are they agonizing over who did what? Any person involved in a felony where someone dies is liable for murder in that death, whether they actually killed or not. He was there, even if he just drove. So he's liable for murder.
The one and only time I served jury duty was in Granville County. That was in 1999. My Dad still lives there. These cases scare me so bad. This was completely random!
Just because the son did not personally take part in the Faulkner’s deaths (so he claims) does not mean he cannot be charged with and found guilty of Felony First-Degree Murder. It’s called “vicarious liability”. This felony murder rule extends liability to accomplices, so an accomplice involved in a felony is liable for murder if a death occurs during the felony, even if the accomplice neither caused, intended, nor foresaw the death. The son can plead ignorance from post to pillar. For the sake of entertaining his claim of being unaware, if nothing else, he was at least aware of the risks when he chose to involve himself in a home invasion.
my favorite jcs channel
The female prosecutor’s hair looks like a wig used in a Saturday Night Live skit of a KAREN 🤣
His own father took the cowards way out, and left his abused battered son to take on his own disgrace and his vile actions. Eric Campbell didn't deserve life in prison. A 20 something year old with no criminal history didn't deserve to pay for his dads horrible actions. He deserves a new trial.
B.S.
Say that if it was your parents murdered
Why didn’t his stepmother testify??? She could have told jurors what they both experienced!
Holly Smoot did testify. I watched every day of the trial. She survived being hung (strung up from the rafters in the garage). With her daughter in the house, Holly had to free herself, sneak in the house, get her daughter, the car keys, and fled to a church. She had to flag down help since her husband confiscated all the phone. He was psychotic from meth. Kevin did a great job detailing this crime. He could go more in-depth because the prosecution left no stone unturned. Eric will be dangerous in prison.
This decision was sickening. Clearly, NONE of these jurors know how an insane violent drug addict controls everyone around them. This is tragic for this young man. They were wrong in their ignorant decision.
Nice job on this.
I have PTSD, as a result of my time in the military. EVERYTHING that you may imagine happening to a woman, serving in a secret mission, happened & then some. I don't know if this young man is truly guilty or not. What I do know is PTSD IS REAL!!!🤯🤕
Totally here for this dude 🖤👻🤘🏻
